Under the heading Hereafter, Sonic Acts celebrates its 25 year history in 2019 with a festive anniversary edition from 21 to 24 February. For the opening night, the festival delves into expanded sonic experiences, with works for the legendary 80-speaker orchestra from Ina GRM in Paris, Acousmonium. Exactly 11 years after Sonic Acts last had the honour of hosting the radical sound diffusion system in Paradiso, the Acousmonium is welcomed back featuring brand new works by Okkyung Lee, BJ Nilsen and Thomas Ankersmit, legendary works by Dick Raaijmakers, Eliane Radigue and Régis Larivière, and acousmatic live performances by Beatriz Ferreyra, Anthea Caddy and Judith Hamann, François Bonnet and Keith Fullerton Whitman.

How to get to Paradiso
Paradiso is on the Weteringschans 6-8 in Amsterdam. That is very close to Leidseplein. From every part of the city there are trams heading towards Leidseplein. From there on out you can walk to Paradiso. Free and secured underground bike parking is available on the opposite side of Paradiso. Travelling by car is difficult, since there are only a few busy parking lots nearby.
